  6. Ducky, can you please add my friend Nicks grey? Twiggy (Pals Twiggy) He went to the bridge yesterday. So going to miss that cow doggie.
  7. We have a bite not collar on our boxer dobie mix right now. It seems to work very well and doesn't bother him.
  8. Dr Matt Cantrell at Community Pet Heathcare in Zionsville. My wife is an RVT and our sighthounds go to him, and she doesn't work at his clinic. He is reasonably priced and super easy to work with. http://www.communitypethealthcare.com Eta: If you have/can get a care credit card, that can be a life saver at time when a bit of cost is involved.

  12. I am so sorry for the loss of your boy.
  13. It has been a year since my fawn dog left us. He was my first grey, my introduction to this wonderful breed. He was my buddy, my rock, as I was his. I would comfort him during the storms that scared him so badly, and he would lay with me for hours when I needed someone to hold. He was beautiful when I adopted him, red fawn, black face and ears, white chest, feet and the tip of his tail. He had the weirdest feet, I called him my bunny boy. As he aged, the face lost its black, but his velvety ears never left, they were the softest thing I had ever touched. We knew something was wrong with him, we originally thought he had LS. He was losing muscle mass even tho he was eating fine. We tried Adaquan and it didn't do anything. He just kept losing weight. Finally our vet suggested an ultrasound. That is the day my world came crashing down. The Vet who did his ultrasound is very well respected in the Indianapolis area, he took one look and shook his head. Chance had Hermangiosarcoma. He had a huge mass in his "pelvic" region. It was so large that is was pushing on his bladder and had all but closed off the path to his rectum. We knew we didn't have much time, but I was going to keep my big baby comfortable as long as I could. I decided that would do all the things we loved to do together one more time. This meant a day trip downtown to Mass Ave, to going to the dog friendly stores and a pup cup from Starbucks. I took so many pictures that day, so many that are hard, even now to look at. I miss him everyday, Chance was my heart dog. I feel so lucky that I was able to share 7 years with him, and to have so many great memories. I was amazed that he made it to his 10th birthday, but I knew we had to let him go. I am, and will always be so grateful for the staff at Community Pet Healthcare, Dr. Matt and Kelley came to our house to help us send my beautiful boy to the bridge with dignity at home, where he belonged. The card we received the next week from them to this day sits on top of his box. I miss you Chancers, may you be running free at the bridge, I can't wait to see you again.
  14. So I tried the walk last night, this dog is so strange, it had the opposite effect, she woke up at 3 this morning. :/
  15. When she was in our room those few nights...she wasnt crated. I would love to give her run of the house, but she hasnt proven that she won't pee in the house. Belly...this happens even if we feed the dogs at 11pm, i feel like food isn'tisn't an issue. I wonder if she would sleep thru if she was in the bed, but that isn't an option. No dogs on the bed when we are sleeping, wifey says no, and really so do I.
  16. I have a female greyhound named Hinder. We has fostered her off and on for a while last year. She is crazy! However she became very attached to us and we figured as a little time went on she would calm down and slrep through the night. Nope, not happening. She wakes up at 4:30 EVERYDAY, and whines and crys to be out of her crate. We tried having her in our room a few nights, didn't help at all. She was still awake at that hour, and wouldn't settle down until she gets let out. The odd thing is, is that it doesn't matter what time we go to bed. Same time everyday. We have been dealing with this for 5 months. If you dont let her out she cries for the hour before our alarms go off. We are not sleeping well with this extra alarm clock. We wonder if we are not the right house, maybe she needs to be more of an only with someone who doesn't work, or works less or from home. I love her to death, i have never before thought about rehoming a dog. We are just about at our wits end. Even if we spend all day with her and play and hike and make her tired, same thing at 4:30. Does anyone have any suggestions? Help! ETA: we did adopt her in December, so just giving her back isnt a great option.
